SONNTAG, 2.10. 2022 / 15h30,
AKADEMIE DER BILDENDEN KÜNSTE WIEN, SITZUNGSSAAL
The global crisis of democracy is more evident than ever. Can fixing the mechanics of representative democracy be the remedy, or should we reimagine the values of democracy altogether? Is it possible to separate the crisis of democracy from the problems of capitalism and climate injustice? ECE TEMELKURAN, Turkish journalist and author (7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship), will be in conversation with IWM Rector MISHA GLENNY about her most recent book, Together: Against the Heartless World, where she asks whether in our age of disintegration we can reinvent Togetherness, the fundamental requirement for political action.
